Re: We had a Visitor at Work today
I was going to agree with you on the Peregrin Falcon, because they do live around here, but the problem with it is that a Peregrin Falcon is as follows.
Picture shows a large bird. Peregrin Falcon is a medium sized falcon
Peregrin Falcon has a solid dark colored head... this bird shows a light colored head.
Peregrin Falcon has a solid dark colored upper body... this bird shows a dark colored body with streaks of white going though it.
I am thinking this potentially could be a Red-tailed Hawk.
Size, coloration etc. shows it to be a close match.

110 Cyps, WC Xeno Spilopterus Kipili WC/F1/F2 T. sp red Kiku

Re: We had a Visitor at Work today
how awsome was that?.....maybe it was trying to tell you something?.....
or maybe it was just hungry or curious.....put some food on the ledge and feed the poor little thing......
thanks for sharing with us though.....that is truly awsome.....

Re: We had a Visitor at Work today
it's confirmed. Its a young red tail. Most likely only about 3 months old. When they are first learning to fly they can end up perched in strange places. Now I want to go see some more hawks!2 75s, 125,55,25 and 14 gallon tank

Re: We had a Visitor at Work today
I used to go up in the state park near (if i remember correctly) the northern part of Lake Conroe and watch the eagles. Each time I went I saw some...and yes, I am talking bald eagles. We would also see hawks of various species and what we called buzzards growing up (red bald head...black scraggly feathers.. the works). Around the more commercialized areas of the lake you wouldn't see as much. One of the things my mother gave me when I graduated high school (I had moved out at 16 to be an apt. manager), was a bird book. She marked the pages of birds she knew that I knew... then clipped the pages of birds I might see down here. I still have it near my door.5.5 fw fluval chi - class N top bar snake chested endlers/ red marble bn/ 4 stripe RCS/ pumpkin shrimp
